About

LLMapicalculator.com is a free, independent tool for comparing the cost of large language model APIs. Enter your request volume once and see what the same workload would cost on DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, MiniMax, GPT and Claude — side by side, in one table.

Why we built it

In 2026, model prices differ by two orders of magnitude, and published rate cards are scattered across a dozen vendors with different units, tiers, caching rules and platform fees. We got tired of spreadsheeting this every month, so we built the calculator we wanted to use.

Independence

This site is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any model provider. All rates shown are official published list prices, each page carries its last-updated date, and we link to providers' own pricing pages so you can always verify. The published rates table on the calculator page lists every model's API name, rate, verified date and official source link; our sourcing rules and limits are spelled out in the data disclaimer. If a number looks wrong, tell us — we fix fast.
